Tkachuk doesn&#8217;t kill penalties and saw just under 17 minutes of ice time as his team made a conga line to the penalty box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Things have gone much better for Tkachuk and Ottawa since, even though Toronto has walked away with wins in two of the past three games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Game 2:<\/strong> One goal, five shots, 20:18 TOI<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Game 3: <\/strong>One goal, four shots, 17:19 TOI<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Game 4: <\/strong>One assist, one shot, 21:24 TOI<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If the Sens want any chance of pulling off a historic comeback, Tkachuk will need to be front and centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anthony Stolarz has been great for the Maple Leafs in net but just turned in his worst game of the series, allowing four goals on 21 shots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That could be cause for concern, as the netminder is reaching uncharted territory in terms of workload. He&#8217;ll be making his 39th appearance of the season after never playing more than 28 games in previous years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Toronto is also allowing the sixth-most chances on a 60-minute basis this postseason (64.31), according to Natural Stat Trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of those aren&#8217;t from high-danger areas, but throwing pucks on the net tends to lead to greasy goals in the postseason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Tkachuk leads all Senators in shots (15) and chances (32) this series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Game 5 prop prediction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rielly to record a point (+125):<\/strong> Rielly has turned up the heat in the postseason, as is tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The longest-tenured Maple Leafs has three points (two goals) in four games, and is third in average TOI (22:35). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rearguard has cleared this line in three of four games and is coming off a four-shot outing on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His 21 shot attempts are fourth among all Maple Leafs skaters. Only nine of those have found the net, but Craig Berube&#8217;s coaching staff has placed a clear emphasis on firing pucks from the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rielly should stick to that game plan on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Maple Leafs vs. Senators prop picks made at 2:03 p.m. ET 04\/28\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Toronto Maple Leafs have another chance to eliminate the Ottawa Senators and win the Battle of Ontario on Tuesday.
